More on skills, competence and experience & George Brown College

 I audio recorded the March 26, 2020 teleconference between myself and George Brown College where Roanna Moses admits she had no basis for making the "skills, competence, experience" comment.

The biggest problems with this comment from Roanna Moses are (were):

1.  Roanna Moses is the Disabilities and Accommodations Manager at George Brown College. 

2.  Roanna Moses said this in the context of planning my work assignment at George Brown College.

3.  Roanna Moses admitted to having no basis for making this claim.

4.  In the end, George Brown College did not give me any work assignment at all.

Payroll questions for George Brown College

I had some queries about some of my GBC pay cheques.  The numbers did not seem right.  I posed these questions to George Brown College for ~3 years, but never got clear answers.  But on two occasions, George Brown College told me in writing - from George Brown labour relations manager Timothy Bingham - that George Brown College could not discuss my pay questions with me.  Timothy Bingham basically stonewalled me, since I never got any explanations from Timothy Bingham or anyone else at George Brown College.

It's bizarre that an employee cannot get answers about pay from the organization that signs the pay cheque...

Return to Work at George Brown College

When I attempted to return to work (RTW) at George Brown College in 2017 and 2018, the process took ~6 weeks and involved 4 people.

When I attempted to RTW at George Brown College in 2020, the process dragged on for ~5 MONTHS and involved way more than 4 people, but didn't include my boss at the meeting when it mattered - since only my boss (Chairperson or Dean) can assign me work.

Another bizarre thing George Brown College did...

 For ~15 months (Sept 2020 to Nov 2021), I tried and tried to get *some* of my PERSONAL belongings from George Brown College campus.  But GBC  - via human resources person Jaismeen Rai - refused to let me get my stuff, even though I followed the same COVID protocols as other GBC employees.  Jaismeen Rai never gave me any cogent, reasonable explanationfor why I was being treated differently than other George Brown College employees who could access campus.

In the end, George Brown College packed up everything from my cubicle and shipped three large boxes to my home.  

I only wanted certain things, things that were mine, paid for by me.

But what arrived at my home were several items that belonged to George Brown College, including GARBAGE, loose thumb tacks, and 125 student tests/exams.  Why would George Brown College send 125 student tests and exams to a professor on leave with cancer?

George Brown College Salary Issue, part 2

 When I found out my male counterpart, at George Brown College - Andrew Johnston - was paid ~$20k more than I was, I asked Human Resources @ George Brown College to check the calculations for my starting salary.  They assign so many points for education here and points for work experience there, etc.


Upon investigation, I realized that George Brown College had not given me any credit for my 3.5 years working at George Brown College.  I questioned this.  Nancy Hood, the VP of Human Resources (at the time) replied by email, saying that my "George Brown experience is irrelevant."

Wow!  My George Brown College experience is IRRELEVANT??????? I bet they'd bever put that in any recruitment posters!!!!!

Skills, competence or experience & George Brown College

 My (attempted) return to work in Spring 2020 was handled at George Brown by Roanna Moses, the Disability and Accessibility Manager.


Without asking me about my history at the College, and without checking my personnel file, and without speaking to any of my supervisors, she questioned whether I had the "skills, competence or experience" for given work assignments.  So, that's the first problem: Roanna Moses failed to get info.  But secondly, she questioned my "skills, competence or experience" to do an UNNAMED work task.  I definitely don't have the skills, competence or experience to pilot an airplane.   


***** Whenever I eventually write FDSTSUE, I will give the fill details and supporting dox.
